I'm getting frustrated with you because I need to say the same things multiple times, and it doesn't seem like it's getting received at the other end. And you had clearly seen the results, which means that rather than the passive aggressive question, you could have said "It'd probably be useful to include some performance numbers in the commmit messages themselves as well." which would be received way differently than asking a question that you already have the answer to. > In the cover letter I see performance numbers for the patch series in > its entirety but not for the individual patches.

You can't really split them up, as you need both to see the real benefit. The only reason they are split is because it makes sense to do so in terms of the code, as they are two different paths and points of contention. This obviously makes patch 2 look better than it is, and that would be the case even if I swapped the order of them as well. As mentioned in a previous reply, I'll be editing the commit messages and probably just include the various performance results in patch 2 and reference patch 1 from that too. -- Jens Axboe
